Radio talk show host Dale Jackson and Alabama Democratic Party Executive Committee member Lisa Handback take you through Alabama’s biggest political stories, including:

— What will the fallout be following the riots at the U.S. Capitol?

— Now that President Donald Trump has conceded that the election is over, will people actually move on?

— How did Democrats take two U.S. Senate seats in Georgia?

Jackson closes the show with a “parting shot” at those who haven’t been speaking out about political violence over the last few years and welcomes them to the party.

Dale Jackson is a contributing writer to Yellowhammer News and hosts a talk show from 7-11 AM weekdays on WVNN.
